Abstract

PurposeThis scoping review aims to survey literature that covers employability preparation and labor market outcomes for graduates from transnational higher education institutions.Design/methodology/approachThis scoping literature review uses career ecosystems as a theoretical framework and the context-input-process-outcomes model as a conceptual framework.FindingsThis scoping review confirms a limited research base of approximately 50 sources that primarily use qualitative methods and socio-economic theories to center the student voice and focus on international branch campuses in the Middle East and Asia. Notably, there is a lack of focus on staff experiences regarding the process of preparing students for employment. The review also demonstrates the need for more research on career processes and outcomes in transnational higher education.Research limitations/implicationsThis scoping review is relevant to higher education institutions seeking to meet the challenges of preparing graduates for more than one national labor market. It has implications for universities' ability to attract students, develop relevant labor market preparation programming and understand whether the institution is addressing local employment needs. For researchers, it offers insight and impetus into the area of inquiry regarding transnational education, graduate labor market outcomes and employability.Practical implicationsPractical implications are drawn for students, parents, policymakers and transnational and non-transnational higher education institutions, as well as those who are engaged in providing international education and career advice.Social implicationsThis review offers insight into developing labor market-relevant TNE programming, which may be helpful both for host and home country transnational education stakeholders interested in impact.Originality/valueThis is one of the first reviews to systematically address literature about employability preparation and labor market outcomes for graduates from transnational higher education institutions; in using career ecosystems theory, this review offers a bridge between international higher education and career studies.

跨国教育、劳动力市场结果与毕业生就业能力：范围界定综述

目的本范围综述旨在调查跨国高等教育机构毕业生的就业能力准备和劳动力市场结果的文献。设计/方法论/方法本范围界定文献综述将职业生态系统作为理论框架，将情境输入过程-结果模型作为概念框架。研究结果这一范围审查证实了大约50个来源的有限研究基础，这些来源主要使用定性方法和社会经济理论来集中学生的声音，并将重点放在中东和亚洲的国际分校。值得注意的是，在为学生就业做准备的过程中，缺乏对员工经验的关注。该综述还表明，有必要对跨国高等教育的职业过程和结果进行更多的研究。研究局限性/含义本范围审查与高等教育机构有关，这些机构试图应对为多个国家劳动力市场培养毕业生的挑战。这对大学吸引学生、制定相关劳动力市场准备计划以及了解该机构是否在满足当地就业需求的能力有影响。对于研究人员来说，它为跨国教育、毕业生劳动力市场结果和就业能力的研究领域提供了见解和动力。实际含义对学生、家长、政策制定者、跨国和非跨国高等教育机构以及那些从事国际教育和职业咨询的人都有实际含义。社会影响这篇综述为制定与劳动力市场相关的TNE计划提供了见解，这可能有助于东道国和母国对影响感兴趣的跨国教育利益相关者。原创性/价值这是第一批系统地介绍跨国高等教育机构毕业生就业能力准备和劳动力市场结果的文献的综述之一；本文运用职业生态系统理论，为国际高等教育与职业研究搭建了一座桥梁。

期刊介绍： Careers and Development are inter-related fields of study with connections to many academic disciplines, organizational practices and policy developments in the emerging knowledge economies and learning societies of the modern world. Career Development International provides a platform for research in these areas that deals with questions of theories and theory development, as well as with organizational career strategy, policy and practice. Issues of theory and of practice may be dealt with at individual, organizational and society levels. The international character of submissions may have two aspects. Submissions may be international in their scope, dealing with a topic that is of concern to researchers throughout the world rather than of sole interest to a national audience. Alternatively, submissions may be international in content, relating, for example, to comparative analyses of careers and development across national boundaries, or dealing with inherently ''international'' issues such as expatriation. Coverage: -Individual careers - psychological and developmental perspectives -Career interventions (systems and tools, mentoring, etc) -Government policy and practices -HR planning and recruitment -International themes and issues (MNCs, expatriation, etc) -Organizational strategies and systems -Performance management -Work and occupational contexts
